Life Is Not Perfect, Being Mediocre could Make You A Winner!
Last time, I told you the “secret” behind blogging and how you can use your pure efforts to make money online blogging. Well it’s true, the most important ingredient to making money online and any businesses may depend largely on your hard work, not luck. Luck comes along with hard work. As Ben Hogan, probably the best golfer in our lifetime said long ago, “The harder you work, the luckier you get.”
Ben Hogan is one of my idols who really inspire me to beecome a pro golfer.
The point of today’s story is that like golf, life is not perfect. Golf is not a game of perfect but trying to reach perfection.
Let me get to the point. No one’s life is perfect, not even the world’s most wealthiest people. In fact, I bet you more rich people are miserable than others because they have achieved more than they needed.
Life is a progress of you trying to be as best as you can be, that does not mean you need to be perfect.
I want you to try something for the next 30 days.
Don’t try to be perfect at everything you do. Focus on the big picture and start “planning” more than “working”.
Working hard means you need to think smart, not working long hours nor trying to be “perfect”.
Let go of your blog design to be perfect, stop trying to get your bloggers to correct every grammar mistake you find.
Instead, focus on things that will get you ahead such as optimizing your ad positions to make the most money out of your ads or even schedule a meeting with your investors to talk about what kind of things will help your business in the long run.
You see, no one is perfect. Perfectionists are the people who don’t do well in business. Entrepreneurs are people who can put together a puzzle, not make the puzzle pieces.
That’s my advice for today and being “mediocre” may actually help you make more money and free yourself away from details and stress.
“Think like a painter, make different brush strokes to make your paint perfect, you don’t need a carbon-copy of reality. Color copiers exists for that.”

Yes, consistency over a year is worth more than a week of hard work.
